Romantique Nails&Spa — Local services in Diamond Bar

I used this place because i could not get down to Huntington Beach to my regular place. My nails came out great and what I wanted. Space is cramped though. When you first walk in there are color charts everywhere. They need to find a better way to show what colors they have. There are just stacks of color books/charts in the front.

After my service wad done the nail technician was telling me that it 49 for the fill 10 for the French, another 10 for something else and 5 for the shape and cut. In total everything was $74. I don't even pay that amount when I have a soak off. They should have disclosed all of this beforehand. Normally for a fill and French tip, and to have my nails shortened is no more than $50 at my regular place. So disappointing that this place takes advantage of their customers by charging them for everything. Really wish I could find something in diamond bar that did an excellent job plus doesn't...

It took an hour and a half to complete a basic shellac removal and gel manicure earlier today. The technician mixed brands together, meaning that the color coat did not adhere to the base coat and kept pulling away unless she cured it immediately under the light. Lots of very thick coats were applied and clearly not cured properly, because a few hours later, the gel has started peeling off, revealing uncured gel underneath. The gel also leaked onto my skin on other nails. I pointed these issues out during the manicure, but the technician told me it was because of the color I chosen. I don’t think this was the case, as another technician had just used the same color on my toes without issue! Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this salon.

Such a shame as I had a lovely experience last time, using the same color...

Absolutely love that they do GelX here, which has given me the longest lasting nails I’ve ever had. There are also beautiful selections of colors and even something called “cat eye nail polish” that moves with a magnet. The price I got as a first time client was pretty good! I got gel X, cat eye nail polish on one finger on each hand, and a beautiful translucent holographic polish on the rest of my nails. I wish I had a good picture of them, but with all of that it totaled to $63! Not too bad of a price for quality nails! I highly recommend this place. I also love that they play Netflix to keep clients...
